Looked to buy a old crap US cell phone

07-08-2002, 03:47 PM

My GF is on a 1 month trip to USA and then we found out that in USA everything runs on a GSM1900 net..
So I'm looking for someone that has a old phone laying around they don't need anymore.
It should be able to receive calls and call someone. And also send SMS messages and have a batter that last more than 20 hours on standby
Other than that I don't really give a shit .
The phone should not be simcard blocked (meaning you can't put other sim cards into the phone)
I'm not looking to spend more than $30-$40 on the phone including shipping (shipping to North Carolina)
If you are a regular GFY'er or if I already know you I have no problem prepaying through paypal.
So if you got a old shitty phone that works then hit me up on ICQ

The nokia communicator is pretty badass (although, we're the last to get it). I just got a Motorola V60c (verizon service), it's pretty damn good...I'm pleased with it!

Have no idea. apparently they only use GSM1900. They are not as high tech as in EU though.

The communicator is OLD and UGLY. Not even sure it supports GPRS (kind a like DSL, always on the internet, just from your phone instead)

I'm still looking.
The phone must have a SIM card that can be replaced with my own sim card

US phones don't have sim cards, it's kinda like the old NMT phones we had, the subscription is connected to the phone itself...
Another option would be to get her a tri-band phone, its expensive as hell to use it with a european subscription though...
And not supported everywhere.

they must have someway to run dual service, go to your cell company and ask them. they must have a solution. swapping chips or something

I'm sure your not the first person to have this trouble and you wont be the last.

Holy shit. Last time we used that kind of "high tech" here in Denmark was back in 94' 95' I think :D

Damn I didn't expect this to be such a big issue.
In Denmark a phone cost from $15 and up.
If anyone has a phone with Simcards, single, dual or triple band I don't care as long as it support the US cell phone net hit me up on ICQ and I will most likely be interested
I don't need a phone subscription or any kind of calling cards

Hehe, nei, det stemmer nok :-)
Og de har alle forskjellige providers, en del folk jeg kjenner i USA får ikke til å bruke sin telefon i andre byer engang.

due why not just let her take danish number with her
then deposit 100 kr into coolsms.dk and then she can msg u from there and u could send msg'es to her danish number that way u wouldn't need a us number unless you're gonna call her all the time or vice versa

yeah the problem was that her cellphone does not work where she is now.
Tried to buy a phone online also but it required that my payment details was the same as the shipping address wich it is not
